Halofantrine hydrochloride is used in research related to its effects on cell membrane properties in various model systems. It is particularly valuable in studies aimed at understanding the interactions between chemicals and cell membranes, due to its amphiphilic nature. In biophysical research, halofantrine hydrochloride serves as a tool for examining how molecular structures influence the behavior of molecules within lipid bilayers, for cell membrane integrity and function. This compound is also utilized in the study of resistance mechanisms in microorganisms, helping scientists to understand how changes at the molecular level can impact the efficacy of compounds with similar properties. Additionally, halofantrine hydrochloride is employed in electrochemical studies to explore its redox properties and how these properties affect its behavior in biological systems.
